1. I want people to notice my new eye color and ask me about it.

If you are bold, dramatic and comfortable being the center of attention, then you want an eye color that everyone notices immediately.

So, for instance:

If your skin, hair and natural eye colors have cool, blue-red undertones, you might choose a warm-toned contact lens such as light brown.
If your skin is dark, you might choose bright-colored lenses.
Do you wear eye makeup? Choose a contact lens color that will stand out from the shadow and mascara colors you like to wear.
If your natural eye color is brown, you might choose contact lenses in violet, green or blue.

2. I want people to notice that I look different but not know exactly why.

If you want to change your appearance, but in a more subtle way:
Do Brown Eyes = Intelligence?
Wow, you're really smart, Anetra. How about you? Do you want people to notice your eye color or just think that you look different somehow?
